clicking on a list item (Inbox, Today...) always grabs latest
changes from server -- no more seemingly missing scheduled or
emailed tasks (this is a workaround until we rectify polling to
pull in changes behind the scenes)

added system message if build numbers change between
visits

revised support/unsupported browser copy to more
articulate

mobile webapp now indicates if a task has tags/notes and
displays task's area of responsibility in lists (but we are still
missing waiting and scheduled lists... grrrr)

2010-July-12 (build 820)

Fixes / Tweaks

Fixed some wonky javascript that was causing some browsers to
respond sluggishly

Removed standalone project name listings from Next/Later views
(as we will be migrating away from this paradigm)

Moved Later down to above Someday (to get it out of the way
while we figure out what we're going to do with it)

Revisited jqtouch (www.jqtouch.com) for more elegant
transitions between "screens"

Added support for Areas of Responsibility (must be setup via
desktop browser first)

Known issues: requires browser refresh to see newly
added/removed Areas of Responsibility; ability to manage Projects
is still spotty; minor visual glitches to be smoothed out; need
better icons/buttons in a few places

Tweaks

Nirvana now barks when trying to move an item from Today to
Next if item is due

Dragging an item to Someday now removes the due date

Reworked some of the javascript overhead in an attempt to
reduce occurrences of Slow Script warnings

Upgraded jquery to v1.4.2, along with some other supporting
libraries (geek geek)

we now attach listeners on click, and use hoverintent to detect
delayed mouseout to unbind the listeners. this should help us get
around the problem of pages slowing down as more and more tasks are
listed on a single page, as we only have one context menu active at
any time.

Daily Ticklers

nirvana can now automatically send your Today list items to you
via email

login to your account and click on account settings to select
which days of the week you'd like to be tickled

Tasks can now be set to pop into your Today list "x" days
before the due date

Next view now gives the option to suppress tasks marked as
Today

Next view has the ability to suppress upcoming Projects

Added a link to Getting Started tutorial in the top navi

Mark-as-today toggle on the right edge of each task is now a
pulldown menu, in anticipation of some upcoming features

Fixed a really nasty bug where trashing a project wasn't
removing it completely from certain views

Empty Trash now works as advertised

Reduced the amount of network chatter between the browser and
nirvana servers

iPhone Webapp (experimental) (10/25/2009) Visit
www.nirvanahq.com on your
iPhone to check out an early release of Nirvana, specifically
tailored to mobile Safari. Not all features of the standard web
version are implemented, but we've found it helpful to be able to
review and add quick tasks on the go. We will be optimizing for
speed in the weeks ahead.

Numerous Bug Fixes + Minor UX tweaks
(9/14/2009) It has been a long time in coming, but today
we release a significantly overhauled backend system to support
future growth of Nirvana. Most of the changes are "invisible"
behind the scenes improvements, but they lay the groundwork for
faster development and more rapid release of features as we move
forward. We have tested this release as thoroughly as we can and
are 99% confident that we haven't broken anything, but do let us
know if you notice something has gone awry. The feedback link in
the top navi is our best friend.

Better Print Support (7/28/2009) By popular
demand, we've improved how Nirvana prints. Still some polishing to
do, but at least one can now print without the extraneous top and
left navigation.

Improved layout of Export to Email (7/27/2009)
Some users were experiencing problems with the Nirvana Export
feature. We made a few changes. Let us know if it is still
troublesome.

Updated User Interface (7/3/2009) We've done a
complete overhaul of the UI for improved compatibility with all
current web browsers, and to accommodate a bunch of forward-looking
features we're working on. Some minor functionality has been lost,
but should be restored again soon (such as sorting of active
projects in the left pane, and resizing the width of the left
pane). On the plus side, we've added the ability to collapse lists,
to expand / contract the amount of data displayed per task, and
generally sped up the response of a lot of eye-candy animations and
drag/drop functionality.

Delegation and Shared Projects - delayed
(7/3/2009) We've decided to re-implement task delegation
and combine it with the upcoming shared projects functionality. As
such, the Delegate item in the left navi has been temporarily
removed. There are a lot of technical reasons for this that we
won't bore you with, but suffice it to say that when delegation
comes back it is going to be significantly better and well worth
the wait! Thanks for your patience.

Task Counts (5/15/2009) The number of tasks in
your Inbox, Today and Trash are now displayed in the left navi.

Internet Explorer Users Welcome (5/7/2009)
Nirvana now works in Internet Explorer 8, and works reasonably well
in Internet Explorer 7. Note: we do not plan on supporting any
older versions of Internet Explorer.

Account Settings Dialog (4/12/2009) Click on
your name in the top navi to update your info, change your name,
email address or password.

Keyboard Shortcuts (4/5/2009) We've added
shortcuts for common features like creating new tasks, new
projects, jumping to Today, Inbox, Next etc. This is the web, so
fugeddabout modifier keys like ctrl or alt. Cheat-sheet: Press 1
for Inbox, 2 for Today, 3 for Next, 4 for Scheduled (coming soon),
5 for Someday, 6 for Projects, 7 for Delegated, 8 for Archive, 9
for Trash, n for New Task, esc for Cancel.

Global Search (4/1/2009) Sometimes it's easier
to search for a task than trying to remember where a task is
filed.

Archive (3/31/2009) The Archive is for storing
completed tasks, freeing them from cluttering up your To Do lists.
It's an alternative to the Trash, which when emptied deletes tasks
forever. Click Archive » collect now, to move completed items
from all lists and projects to the Archive.

Projects (3/26/2009) You can now create
projects by clicking on Projects > new project, or by dragging a
task to Projects in the left navi. Newly created projects will
appear in the left navi under Active Projects, where you can easily
drag tasks from your Inbox or from any other task list. Drag a
project to Someday to make it inactive. Drag a project from Someday
to Projects to make it active again. Drag project tasks to Today as
needed to make sure you don't miss a beat!
